Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Easter

Eggs really have nothing to do with Easter. However, I wanted to show off an egg-shaped Easter card made by my great-grandmother's half sister, close to 100 years ago (more or less, not sure). This is my entry for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Easter.

Now for the real story as taken from Matthew 28 in The Message, a modern version of the Bible:

The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed. Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, 'He is risen from the dead...'"

Pecreativ #22 Alles nur keine Karte

Here is my entry for everything except a card, the theme for Pecreativ #22. It is some watercolor paintings I did in my mini-journal (gorgeous William Morris cover) that my granddaughter gave me for Christmas.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Butterflies

Here is my card I made  using sprays and stamps for the background and a butterfly stamp from Frankie for my image. I am entering this in this week's Rainbow Lady's Challenge.

Take a Word - Hats

I made this real paper card for the Take a Word challenge. The background is newspaper sprayed with MoonShadow mists. The swirls have been heat embossed in copper and gold. The hat lady is a stamp from my granddaughter.

I am having a VERY difficult time posting this. The spinning beach ball goes forever between words or phrases. It may be Blogger or it may be something more ominous.

Please enlarge to catch a glimpse of the metallic embossing.

Think Monday Think ATCs - Egg

Here is my Faberge-type egg ATC I have made for TMTA. I used an egg shape template to cut out the egg from some card stock I had sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mists and Starbursts colors. The ATC background was sprayed using other colors of the same product line. I stamped in clear embossing ink and embossed in Obsidian Emerald and Copper embossing powders. Finally I dotted with Stickles. The white ribbon was dyed using the same Moonshadow Mists.

Rainbow Lady - House and Home

I'm a little late with this challenge. Life has been a bit hectic for this old lady. Here is my entry for Rainbow Lady's Challenge of House and Home. If I had time to do it over, I'd curve the word sweet. I don't why I did it this way.      : - <

Art Cards - Water Spritz

Here is my water spritz entry  to this week's Art Cards challenge.

Tag it On - Australia

Here is my tag featuring Australia for Tag it On. I googled the map and eucalyptus leaves. I also googled the emu, made a digital brush from it and combined all this digitally, then printed it out. I used green ribbon and forest green distress ink. The stamped images (sun for hot climate and fan to keep the air moving) with a charcoal distress ink.
